Waterfront, Swansea: Property

Waterfront's terraced homes average £312,000 and flats £163,000, making it one of the pricier neighbourhoods around. Both property types cost significantly more than in nearby Castle, Uplands and St Thomas. Terraced houses here sell for over £160,000 more than in Castle (£144,000) and Uplands (£230,000). Flats show an even starker difference: Waterfront's £163,000 average is roughly double Castle's £79,000 and well above Uplands' £113,000 and St Thomas' £110,000. There's only one detached sale on record at £500,000, so that's not a reliable figure for detached properties. With just 138 postcodes and a fairly small sample size, individual sales can shift the averages. But the pattern is clear: Waterfront commands a firm premium over its immediate neighbours, especially for flats, which make up most sales here. If you're weighing up areas, you'll pay noticeably more in Waterfront than in Castle, Uplands, St Thomas or Coedffranc West.
